Alec's 40gal breeder chronicles!

Looking good aw1447

Naturally the SPS display on the left hand side as I view the image, is my favorite part of the tank

Lol naturally. I actually have SPS on the other rocks too.. Just a little more difficult to see bc my camera sucks. On the left there's a monti digitata, the biggest one, and 2 diff types of birdsnest on the right. To the left of the torch on the center rock there's a piece of encrusting monti. I just looks like a little cube on the very top of that rock. Then on the far right rock to the right of the kenya tree there's a piece of pink acro milli. Its been growing slow, but growing. Really, its taken like 2 months for it to get its color back and all.. I actually thought it was dead for awhile haha. Not much vertical growth, but its encrusting over the plug. So it'll really start to take off. Took me awhile to get my water/tank to SPS quality I suppose. I guess that just comes with the tanks age..

 

New fish I added to the QT about an hour ago! Bad pic though, he won't sit still for me haha. I'll get a better one soon.

 

Is that the mystery wrasse that you have been wanting?

 

Yessirr it is. He's doing great so far. A littlee skiddish, but that's nothing I didn't anticipate. He'll hide out when I walk up to the tank, so when he's swimming around I creep up reall slow haha. He ate real well, which is good. I had to hold the food out at the end of his tube with my tweezers, and wait for him to come snatch it lol. Cool little fish for sure. I'm glad I got him.

 

Awesome, it's always cool when you can get what you want lol

 

Haha yah I've been eyeing him down for about a month, and finally decided to fork over the dough. He was worth it though.

 

Helloooo all. I put the mystery wrasse in my display yesterday, and so far so good. I only quarantined him for a week, but he was doing really well, and I figured he'd enjoy the more swimming space. All the other fish seem to like him, except for the flame hawk lol. He's been chasing him around a little, but nothing serious. The wrasse is so quick, he couldn't nip it if he wanted to lol. He eats like a horse, and is already pretty fat haha. I think he'll give my hawk a run for his money for king of the tank when all is said and done lol. But he's been spending his time cruising around all day, which has made him tough to get a picture of. Especially with the older iPhone I have, that doesn't take great pics in the first place. I'll get a good one soon though. He has his sleep spot all figured out already it seems. I have some big barnacles I bought of eBay, and he'll get down inside one of em and snooze it up in there, it's cute. Anyways here's a few pic attempts, I really need a decent camera badly. Haha.

 

On a side note.. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good website to buy a reasonably priced clam at?

 

Your mystery wrasse looks very nice. I'm sure he is happy in your aquarium. It's always nice when you get something that you have been eyeing for awhile.
